Good luck Andy, I also searched high and low for suitable 1/72 RN figures, at not silly money, but to no avail.Does anyone know were I can get German or any naval figures or figures in non fighting poses to use on my next schnellboot. Tried ebay one seller doing the revell 51 piece. Surly someone still makes them...

Thanks, had a feeling that would be the answer. Had the same idea to use army, when looking at the uniforms not to different if you use the correct colours.Good luck Andy, I also searched high and low for suitable 1/72 RN figures, at not silly money, but to no avail.
I ended up using some army figures, and cut and filed them to approximately the right shapes, and with appropriate colouring, and if you don't look closely, they may just pass for RN guys.
Not perfect but they will do for my purposes.

Call me tight if you want, but I do feel 2 quid for a 1/72 figure is a bit silly. lolMilicast has landing craft crews in what they call “1/76-1/72” scale, such as:—

These will set you back something like £2 per figure, but of course, I don’t know if that’s what you consider silly money or not.
Shame on you when I was wanting some... lol. No haven't tried Preiser, but will have a look. Got to be honest and say was very impressed with SOME of the figures on etsy, may need a little filling.
Thanks Jakko, my quest was for modern navy personnel to suit my Duke Class frigate. I was able to find WW11 figures but not modern.Milicast has landing craft crews in what they call “1/76-1/72” scale, such as:—
